Other Financial Highlights:
Total assets decreased $27.7 million, or 3.1%, to $877.2 million at March 31, 2026 from $904.9 million at December 31, 2025, due largely to a decrease in cash and cash equivalents, securities and loans.
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.7 million, or 21.6%, to $27.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $35.6 million at December 31, 2025 as excess funds from increased borrowings, security maturities and loan payments were used to offset deposit outflows.
Securities decreased $13.2 million, or 8.4%, to $144.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $158.1 million at December 31, 2025 due to principal repayments of mortgage-backed securities and maturities of corporate bonds.
Net loans decreased $8.2 million, or 1.3%, to $639.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $647.6 million at December 31, 2025, primarily due to decreases in residential mortgages, commercial and construction loans, offset by an increase in multi-family loans.
Total deposits at March 31, 2026 were $600.9 million, decreasing $51.6 million, or 7.9%, compared to $652.4 million at December 31, 2025, due to a $65.4 million decrease in certificates of deposit of which $20.1 was for a decrease in brokered deposits. The decrease was offset by a $1.3 million increase in money market accounts, a $5.3 million increase in savings accounts and a $6.5 million increase in NOW accounts. The average rate on deposits decreased 45 basis points to 3.53% for the first quarter of 2026 from 3.87% from comparable period a year ago, which was due to lower interest rates and average balances of certificates of deposit.
Federal Home Loan Bank ("FHLB") advances increased $22.6 million, or 24.2% to $115.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $93.3 million as of December 31, 2025. The increase in borrowings was largely attributable to the outflow of deposits during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Kevin Pace, President and Chief Executive Officer, said “Core operating earnings for the first quarter improved year over year with a 23% increase in net interest income that supported growth in our income before taxes. We continue to make strides in our net interest margin, which grew from 1.66% (1st quarter 2025) to 2.20% (1st quarter 2026). Our balance sheet remains strong, and capital levels are robust. Credit quality remains stable and within our expectations.”
“We remain focused on what matters most – serving our clients, positioning the bank for sustainable long-term growth and delivering consistent value to our shareholders."
Income Statement Analysis
Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025
Net income decreased $25,000 to $706,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from a net income of $731,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025. This decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $568,000 in non-interest income and an increase of $240,000 in income taxes, partially offset by an increase of $703,000 in net interest income, an increase of $130,000 in the provision for credit losses and a decrease of $80,000 in non-interest expense.
Interest income decreased $435,000, or 4.0%, to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $10.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest income on cash and cash equivalents decreased $142,000, or 53.6%, to $123,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $265,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a $5.3 million decrease in the average balance to $11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $16.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, reflecting an increase in securities and a reduction of borrowings. This was also due to a 203-basis point decrease in the average yield from 6.37% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 4.34% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 resulting from the lower interest rate environment.
Interest income on loans decreased $615,000, or 7.1%, to $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 which was primarily due to a $57.2 million decrease in the average balance to $647.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $705.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, slightly offset by a five basis point increase in the average yield from 4.88% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to 4.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Interest income on securities increased $431,000, or 23.5%, to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $1.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to an 88 basis point increase in the average yield from 5.05% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, to 5.93% for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The increase was also due to a $7.6 million increase in the average balance to $152.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, from $145.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest expense decreased $1.3 million, or 17.3%, from $7.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 due to lower costs on deposits and lower balances on borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the use of hedges increased the interest expense on the FHLB advances and brokered deposits by $37,000. At March 31, 2026, cash flow hedges used to manage interest rate risk had a notional value of $67.5 million, while fair value hedges totaled $30.0 million in notional value.
Interest expense on interest-bearing deposits decreased $772,000, or 13.4%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was due to a 45-basis point decrease in the average cost of deposits to 3.38% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 3.83% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease in the average cost of deposits was due to the lower interest rate environment and a decrease in the rate paid on certificates of deposit offset by an increase in the rate paid on transactional accounts. Our rates on certificates of deposit decreased 60 basis points to 3.65% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.25% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the average balances of certificates of deposit decreased $24.9 million to $459.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $484.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The average balance of NOW/money market accounts and savings accounts increased $4.6 million and $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Interest expense on FHLB advances decreased $496,000, or 31.6%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 to $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in the average balance of $61.1 million to $97.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $158.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The decrease was offset by an increase in the average cost of borrowings of 46 basis points to 4.48% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 4.02% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to the new borrowings being shorter durations at higher rates.
Net interest income increased $833,000, or 23.2%, to $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase reflected a 48-basis point increase in our net interest rate spread to 1.60% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 1.12% for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Our net interest margin increased 54 basis points to 2.20% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from 1.66% for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
We recorded a $50,000 provision for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $80,000 recovery for credit losses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to higher delinquent commercial loan balances.
Non-interest income decreased $568,000, or 63.9%, to $321,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from $889,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025 due to a death benefit received related to a former employee.
For the three months ended March 31, 2026, non-interest expense decreased $80,000, or 2.1%, compared to the comparable March 31, 2025 period. Salaries and employee benefits decreased $27,000, or 1.3%, due to lower headcount. FDIC insurance premiums decreased $8,000, or 7.1%, due to lower deposit balances in 2026. Data processing expense decreased $45,000, or 14.2%, due to lower processing costs. Director fees decreased $21,000, or 13.1%, due to fewer members on the board. The decrease in advertising expense of $54,000, or 50.7%, was due to reduced promotions for branch locations and less promotions on deposit and loan products. Professional fees increased $44,000, or 21.9%, due to higher legal costs in 2026. Occupancy and equipment increased $31,000, or 4.6%, due to higher snow removal costs in 2026.
Income tax expense increased $240,000 to an expense of $212,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 from a $28,000 benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase was due to an increase of $755,000 in pre-tax income.
Balance Sheet Analysis
Total assets were $877.2 million at March 31, 2026, representing a decrease of $27.7 million, or 3.1%, from December 31, 2025. Cash and cash equivalents decreased $7.7 million during the period primarily as excess funds from increased borrowings, security maturities and loan payments were used to offset deposits outflows. Net loans decreased $8.2 million, or 1.30%, due to $17.3 million in repayments, partially offset by new production of $9.1 million. This resulted in a $5.4 million decrease in the balance of residential loans, a $3.2 million decrease in construction loans and a decrease of $4.4 million of commercial loans, offset by a $5.2 million increase in multi-family loans. Due to the interest rate environment, we have seen a decrease in demand for residential and construction loans, which have been primary drivers of our loan growth in recent periods. Securities available for sale decreased $13.2 million or 8.4%, due to repayments of mortgage-backed securities and maturities of corporate bonds.
Delinquent loans increased $1.3 million to $28.1 million, or 4.39% of total loans, at March 31, 2026, compared to $26.8 million at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to an increase in commercial real estate loans associated with several large loans that have been either 30 or 60 days past due. All delinquent loans are considered well-secured. During the same timeframe, non-performing assets increased from $13.3 million at December 31, 2025 to $13.5 million, which represented 1.54% of total assets at March 31, 2026. No loans were charged off during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or March 31, 2025. The Company’s allowance for credit losses related to loans was 0.40% of total loans and 19.69% of non-performing loans at March 31, 2026 compared to 0.39% of total loans and 19.38% of non-performing loans at December 31, 2025. The Bank has limited exposure to commercial real estate loans secured by office space.
Total liabilities decreased $28.8 million, or 3.8%, to $735.2 million mainly due to a $51.6 million decrease in deposits offset by an increase in borrowings. Total deposits decreased $51.6 million, or 7.9%, to $600.9 million at March 31, 2026 from $652.4 million at December 31, 2025. The decrease in deposits reflected a decrease in certificate of deposit accounts, which decreased by $65.4 million to $428.6 million at March 31, 2026 from $493.9 million at December 31, 2025 . This decrease was offset by savings accounts which increased by $5.3 million from $54.6 million at December 31, 2025 to $59.8 million at March 31, 2026 a increase in NOW deposit accounts, which decreased by $6.5 million to $72.0 million from $65.5 million at December 31, 2025, an increase in money market deposit accounts, which increased by $1.3 million to $11.5 million from $10.2 million at December 31, 2025, and by a increase in noninterest bearing demand accounts, which increased by $763,000 from $28.2 million at December 31, 2025 to $28.9 million at March 31, 2026. At March 31, 2026, brokered deposits were $89.6 million or 14.9% of deposits and municipal deposits were $48.5 million or 8.1% of deposits. At March 31, 2026, uninsured deposits represented 8.7% of the Bank’s total deposits. FHLB advances increased $22.6 million, or 24.2%, due to the use of borrowings to offset deposit outflows. Short-term borrowings increased $38.5 million, or 192.5%, to $58.5 million at March 31, 2026 from $20.0 million at December 31, 2025, while long-term borrowings decreased $15.9 million, or 21.7%, to $57.4 million at March 31, 2026 from $73.3 million at December 31, 2025. Total borrowing capacity at the FHLB is $236.4 million, of which $115.9 million has been advanced.
Total stockholders’ equity increased $1.1 million to $142.1 million, primarily due to net income of $706,000 and less changes in other comprehensive income of $283,000. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s ratio of average stockholders’ equity-to-total assets was 16.28%, compared to 14.59% at December 31, 2025.

Rate/Volume Analysis
The following table sets forth the effects of changing rates and volumes on net interest income. The rate column shows the effects attributable to changes in rate (changes in rate multiplied by prior volume). The volume column shows the effects attributable to changes in volume (changes in volume multiplied by prior rate). The net column represents the sum of the prior columns. Changes attributable to changes in both rate and volume that cannot be segregated have been allocated proportionally based on the changes due to rate and the changes due to volume.
